Preity Zinta Comments on Long Bollywood Shoot Hours Amid Work-Life Balance Debate
Preity Zinta responded to the ongoing Bollywood debate on long working hours, sharing that she worked up to 18-hour days during the shoot of her film Vibe to complete work quickly and return to her children in the US. She described the shoots as demanding despite the film's comedic nature. The debate gained attention after Deepika Padukone, a new mother, advocated for an eight-hour workday to balance professional and personal life, which reportedly contributed to her exit from the film Spirit.
